[ After the trial, Kate walked very quickly away from the pyre and ducked behind a building. Maybe it's the one Totty's staying at. Or he just happened to turn the same corner...
Here, she has her back pressed to the wall and her hands against her chest. She takes slow, deep breaths, one after another, like she's trying to regulate herself. ]
[ honestly i don't know where he's staying tonight because it's sure as hell not going to be the theater, so he is in fact probably turning down random corners while he anxiously wanders around and tries to figure out what to do.
...ah. ]
Kate-chan...? Are you okay?
[ not that he can blame her if she isn't after all that. ]
I don't know. It feels like a big risk when we don't even know what the reward is going to be.
Do you think— whatever Boothill's monster is, do you think he and his partner were both affected? Or did it just pick one or the other because their link wasn't confirmed?
I don't know... If his partner was affected, surely they would be one of the other people who were active that night... either Aventurine, or the person who killed Death.
And if they weren't... maybe it's as you say. A coin flip, once the monster is summoned.

Yes.
I just... needed a moment. We just condemned a person to death...
no subject
Ah... Yeah, we did.
I don't think we had much of a choice, though, you know?

... What happened to Boothill could have happened to any of us, couldn't it?
no subject
I think so. If whatever ritual they'd done had set off someone else's monster instead.
...Kind of feels now like we've all got ticking time bombs inside of us.
no subject
Our only source of power in this place, and it's already been turned against us...
no subject
I wonder how the partner thing is supposed to factor into that...

I guess I'll see if the overseers are able to tell us at least that much. Help us make a more informed decision.

... I... I really don't want to remain powerless in a place like this.
